"Next season, season three, I have no clue what to expect, but it'll all be a really big surprise, so I can't wait," he dished, perhaps unaware that the biggest surprise would be that he'd have a diminished role on the show.

Chord even revealed who he'd like to see drop by McKinley High and what songs he'd like to sing in those hallowed halls. "I mean, I'm surprised whenever we have anybody new guest star on the show how well they just fit with the character they're written [to play]. The writers do a good job… I'm just anxious to see who they want to go with as guest stars, if they choose anybody," he said. "I mean, I heard Anne Hathaway, but I'm not too picky.

"There's definitely some songs I would like to sing," he went on. "I'm a huge Elvis fan and rock fan…[maybe] Marvin Gaye, just test the water with a couple of those different artists."
